MAYNARD, Mass. -- September 10, 2013
The New York Jets and Monster.com, the flagship brand of Monster Worldwide,
Inc. (NYSE: MWW), announced today that the search is over for the new on-air
reporter for newyorkjets.com. Through Monster’s Cool Jobs program, the Jets
have hired Liz Gonzales as the team’s newest on-air reporter for
newyorkjets.com live programming. Gonzales was introduced to Jets fans at
MetLife Stadium on Sunday during the Jets vs. Buccaneers season opener.
Gonzales comes to the Jets with diverse experience in sports production and
reporting. A Texas native, she graduated from the University of Texas, Austin
with a bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations. Upon graduating,
Gonzales worked as a College Football Big 12 columnist at
collegefootballnews.com where she was responsible for researching and
producing articles relating to Big 12 teams. She then expanded her football
experience at ESPN as a Monday Night Football production assistant and
internal website reporter where she worked alongside Jon Gruden and the Monday
Night Football crew. Before making the move to Florham Park, Gonzales returned
to her home state of Texas where she served as the KTAB news reporter.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been selected for this opportunity,” said
Gonzales. “Both Monster and the Jets were great to work with throughout this
entire process and I’m excited to become part of Jets Nation.”
Gonzales will join senior reporter and team insider Eric Allen to conduct
interviews, engage in dialog, and provide informed opinion to viewers on
newyorkjets.com live programs. She will appear on Jets Talk LIVE every
Thursday afternoon where they will be joined by Jets players, coaches and team
personnel. Gonzales also can be seen on Jets Replay on Mondays following every
Jets game. In addition, Gonzales will produce features and write blogs for the
website.
“We were very impressed with the caliber of the candidates that we had in this
process,” said Jets President, Neil Glat. “With Monster’s help, we are excited
to introduce Liz to our fans and welcome her to our team.”
“Monster delivered for the Jets, helping them find the perfect person for
their team,” said Ted Gilvar, EVP and Global Chief Marketing Officer at
Monster. “This is a prime example of how our capabilities across technology
and recruiting expertise improve the total hiring process, finding the best
people with amazing experience and qualifications.”
The Jets and Monster announced their collaboration and kicked off the search
in April. Fans can visit newyorkjets.com to follow Gonzales and the Jets
